Why RapiFoto

100% US State Dept compliance

Every rule from US State Dept's published spec checked automatically — size, head proportion, eye line, glasses, expression, lighting.

Privacy first

Photos auto-deleted within 7 days (longer for orders flagged for human review). We never sell or share. PDPA-compliant by design.

Built for United States

Tuned specifically for US State Dept rules — not a generic global tool that "also handles United States." More documents and markets coming.

Money-back guarantee

If your immigration authority rejects the photo for a spec failure we should have caught, we refund 100%. Full terms in our Refund Policy.

Common questions

What if my US visa application is rejected?

If the photo is the cause of rejection, send us proof within 30 days and we'll refund ₱159 in full — or redo the photo at no charge. Note: we can only refund photo-caused rejections, not visa decisions.

Why is the US visa photo square (51×51 mm)?

The US Department of State uses a 2×2 inch square format — different from the 35×45 mm rectangle most other countries use. We crop and produce the photo in the correct square aspect automatically.

I wear glasses — will that be a problem?

Yes — the US has banned glasses for visa photos since November 2016. No exceptions for clear-lens prescription glasses. Coloured contacts also forbidden. Remove glasses for the photo.

What dimensions does the US Department of State require?

51×51 mm (2×2 inch) square print equivalent. Digital file 600×600 px minimum to 1200×1200 px maximum, JPEG only, MAX 240 KB. Plain white or off-white background. We deliver a file that meets all of these for DS-160 upload.

Can I use this photo for visas to other countries?

No — this is the US 51×51 mm square format only. Schengen, Canada, Japan, and Australia use the smaller 35×45 mm rectangle with their own rules. Separate options for those countries are coming soon.

Do you keep my photo?

Auto-deleted within 7 days. Never sold, never shared. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
